Got my Sabula order today with the natural long shank ball cups I need to do the turnbuckles.

I finally have a use for these heavy duty tecnacrafts, which oddly say they are JRX-T but very obviously need the long shank ball cups to work.

Just an observation but I hope you are going to be threading more of the ball cup on the threads of those turnbuckles :wink:

Car looks good man. For those of you waiting for updates, blame me. I goofed up a second time and sent a dang RC10 rear arm, what a moron.

The proper stuff is in the mail and I look forward to seeing progress on the car. Sorry for the issue.

Looks like this is coming along nicely! Looking forward to seeing how you finish the chassis... talking of which, how rigid is it, say compared with the original garphite chassis? & what sort of aluminium have you used?

Its very rigid. Its more rigid than the graphite but not as much as the composite.

Its 2024 T3.

I have requested colors and pricing from gomachv's anodizing place for the hardcoating process. They call it type 3. I am staying away from bright colors except for accent hardware. I want the car to look like a racer and not bad acid trip. Maybe a titanium color or something like the 22/Durango chassis etc.

But Losi's always look like a bad acid trip :D
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.

I test fitted the battery tray and its crooked. I mean, I must have been drunk, crooked. I just dont think I can live with it. So I am trying to come up with a solution for that. Then off to the annodizer.

Stay tuned!
